Materialistic

The eyes never have enough of seeing, The
                             ears are selective in listening. Chasing after the 
                              wind  is meaningless it can't be grasped, cease
                       
                            From anger and folly for its meaningless. Material
                            things are accumulated material brands of all kinds
                            from clothes, shoes, jewelry, and fine foods still are
                            meaningless. Chasing the wind playing with folly and
                            toil, meaningless.

                             Tests will be given to explore what's true or false
                              chasing after the wind meaningless nothing was gained,
                            lost oneself and everyone that mattered and the facts
                            remains the wind will always surround the sun.
